Anyone remember this toay...Cherish the times with your friends and family..it flies.

I am having one of those moments...It is the moment you find what used to your child's favorite toy when she was 1. The toy she would never leave the house without. The toy you had to stop your life to find if it was lost...Elmo was a comfort, a tormentor (I think he walks and hides) and a friend...She is 18 now but Elmo remains the same. Cherish the precious times with your friends and family...it flies by quickly...

I have that moment whenever I see "Blankie". He used to be BB's blankie until he was about three or four years old, and LB decided that he liked it and took it as his own (some kind of symbolism there I'm sure). LB and Blankie were inseparable at bedtime until he was about 8 (blankie even used to come on vacation with us). One day I found Blankie in the closet on the floor. I felt a little sad. LB was growing up.




BB- older son
LB- younger son
Blankie- Mickey Mouse blanket that their Auntie gave us when BB was born.

Xavier I have a bin with some of my son's favourite things. I always said I am keeping this for you until you are a grown man. He used to love:



Learned to pack his little suitcase when I packed for him and said "Sorry there is no room in the suitcase to take Barney to Jamaica". He re-packed it, fit Barney and said "Look Mommy, there's lots of room." He has been packing his on suitcase ever since.

One day he said, I don't need to sleep with Barney and Baby Bop anymore." Can you put them in my box for when I am a grown man?"

He just suddenly turned on Barney "He talks down to us like we are stupid."

Frankly I like Barney, wholesome non-violent and non-sexist entertainment for young children.

Barney and Baby Bop are still there along with newspapers from the day he was born early clothes, toys and games.

My older son, Peas1, was attached to a soft rabbit toy. When Peas1 was three, I took him to visit family in Jamaica. Flying back through NMIA, a couple of airport security were quite amused with my son's careful placement of Mr. Bunny on the x-ray belt. One picked up Mr. Bunny after he went through the machine and gently handed him back to my son. When we got back to the States, the immigration officer wanted to see Mr. Bunny's passport.

Mr. Bunny sits in the guest room now with a few other cherished friends. Peas1 is 27.

in this neighborhood we have a listserve, and every day someone will post about a lost toy and/or blankie, yuh know, the one the child cannot live without.

and if you guh buy a new one and try rough it up in the washing machine dem know seh is fake


couple newspaper/journalists always make fun of one of the other neighborhoods nearby, cause residents will put up signs looking for lost toys and blankies

i could laugh about it cause mi never experience it dwl



but YES, plenty tings pack up and the time flew by so quickly. I look back and it all seems to be a blur sometimes. I can barely remember some time/period/event sometimes. I don't know where the time went.

Not strange at all. My second child was annoyed with a cuddly toy dog we got for him. He flung it out of his crib.
